Something about me..

I am Yvonne Morell

This was me a few years ago. I WAS A SKETCHBOOK HOARDER. I loved paper and beautiful sketchbooks but would not draw in them, afraid to ruin them. Does that ring any bell? Well, these times are over. I will address fears and obstacles that keep us away from sketching. So, if I was able to overcome them. so can you.
I take the leap, sign me up!

What if I am a beginner..

The class is for EVERYONE, also for complete beginners. No one was born an expert and with some tips and tricks, the journey is so much easier than if you have to research everything. So, do not overthink it but JUST START DRAWING. I am here to help you and cheer you on.
